AMERICA F*CK…no. After months of painstaking research, i.e. going to the nearest frat house to interview Date Rape Dan, the drunkhards over at Blowfish, a hangover cure, put together a lovely chart highlighting America’s beer preferences, state-by-state. Date Rape Dan, you’ve let me down: as you can see below, Bud Light is all over the place, as is the slightly preferable Blue Moon. America loves blue beers because blue is how we feel inside.

(Also, Alaska’s third favorite shot is the Duck Fart. Have you guys seceded from the nation yet?)

So, true story. Left Oklahoma (and Keystone, and Coors Light) in 2000. Moved to Texas to get away from 3.2 beer. Bought home in dry county, dry town. Had to drive 10 miles to get beer until a year ago.

I didn’t even know what a dry county was until some friends moved near Plano. But yeh retarded oklahoma liquor laws make you have to plan your beer drinking ahead or find one that’s good warm (hello guiness)

It’s still a huge step up. That’s my point. If this was 20 years ago the whole country would have been covered by Budweiser.

On another note, I’m looking forward to the end of the IPA craze. I understand that people have different tastes and that’s fine, I don’t like IPA’s personally. But there are so many other awesome types of beer and their development is getting sidelined by the IPA trend. Haven’t seen a new amber in years and ESB is nearly extinct.

I prefer Bud Light to Blue Moon any day. Never enjoyed Blue Moon. Bud Light is my go to if I plan on drinking more than 8, which is often. (Frat upbringing and all… Seriously that shit was like currency in the frat house)

I love me craft beer as well but lets be honest, you’re not going to a bar to eat wings and watch football while sipping on some 8.6 abv craft IPA….

True, and that’s why I said, I certainly enjoy craft beer or even just more flavorful brews, which I’ll have at home or at dinner, but if I’m actively out drinking (which I assume is the case for most of these Nationwide beer polls) I’ll take something cheaper that I can drink more of.

I’ll be honest, I’d rather have two beers I enjoy than eight beers I don’t. Then again, I live in New England; I’m convinced the beer market here is pretty much bottomless. The entire time I’ve lived in Massachusetts I’ve never been more than five minutes walk from a liquor store.

Yeungling Black & Tan isn’t a bad choice either for when it gets cold down here in The Wang (meaning below 60).

Don’t sleep on Costco Amber as an everyday home choice. $17 for 18 bottles and it’s about the same flavor as Sam. The missus surprised me with some a while back and it’s now a staple in the garage fridge.

So strange… I’m a Canadian, and this is the first time I’ve ever even *heard* of either Blue Moon or Yuengling beer. I’m pretty sure neither is sold in Canada (or not available very widely).

As for your other choices, they’re swill. I’ll give Corona a pass for being the best of a bad bunch.

But to be fair, up here in the Big Dominion the drink of choice for stupid people is Coors Light. Not even a Canadian brand (it’s made domestically by Molson, but it’s still the stuff that they squeeze out of the mops from the brewery floor.

Yuengling is so popular because, smartly, they keep it cheap. Whenever I visit my wife’s parents and we wind up going to some terrible bar in the suburbs so she can visit with her friends, Yuengling is always, always, the cheapest tap on the line. If you can get a half-decent lager for less money than a shitty macrobrew, that’s not a hard call.
